I only went to Dr. Kolrud once. She seemed really rushed and did not have a whole lot of time to give to me. She did however get me hooked up with Nuva Ring and taught me how to use it. But about a month later when I had complications with it - I could not get a hold of Dr. Kolrud or get my calls returned. Frustrated, I booked an appointment with one of her associates at the Westside Women's Clinic. He was very understanding about the whole matter and did some tests to see what was going on with me. I will review him seperately! (: I would recommend Westside Women's Clinic - just not Dr. Kolrud specifically. Also, I know this might sounds a little petty and I do not mean for it to, but Dr. Kolrud is not at all professional looking and comes across more as a hardened pornstar than a Doctor. The make-up is caked on, hair bleached super white and she wore a very skimpy little outfit when she was examining me. I get it Dr. Kolrud - you're hot - ha ha. I guess I just want my Doctor to look more like a Doctor. But again that is not my complaint. I am displeased with lack of time she gave me in office, refusal to return my calls when nuva ring complications arose and having to spend another specialty Doctor co-pay to have the issue resolved properly. So, please visit this office, but you might want to skip Dr. Kolrud if you want time spent with you and phone calls returned. Thanks for listening.

I have been a patient of Dr. B. Kolrud nearly 5 years and have received EXCELLENT care and patient services. She was able to uncover a medical condition on my first visit that my former gynecologist never recognize as a serious issue. Dr. Kolrud presented different medical and holistic options. She listened to my needs for the least invasive surgical option and understood my concerns before, during and after my surgery. My surgery was highly successful! Always attentive, professional, kind and knowledgeable, Dr. Kolrud's warm smile and a gentle touch are special. Her support team is highly professional. I highly recommend Dr. Kolrud and the Westside Women's Center. You will receive wonderful care!

I went to Dr. Bonita Kolrud a few times. I must say I think she is good at her vocation and that is not why I am unhappy with her as a Doctor. She is good at finding and getting a diagnosis for a problem pretty quickly. The problem, however lies in her sarcastic, uncaring bedside manner. I had a question for the Doctor regarding some massive fatigue that I was battling at the time. It interfered with my ability to excercise and take walks as I was always acustumed to doing and I thought that Dr. Kolrud might have some insight for me about my symptoms or could perhaps send me to a Specialist would could look into it deeper. Dr. Kolrud asked what my current workout schedule looked like. I told her that because of these new symptoms (severe pain after taking my normal walk and terrible fatigue) that I was only taking a mile walk per day and sometimes not even that depending on the day. Instead of being concerned or perhaps think that "hey we have a woman here in her mid-twenties who should be much more active," instead I was told in a very, uncaring, sarcastic manner, "I have 80 year old grannies who can workout longer than you do." Instead of trying to get to the root of this problem I was laughed at and told that ridiculous statement. I was seeking a possible explanation for these new and troubling symptoms, but that is not what I got. That was the last time I ever went to her. Thank God I had a smart and on the ball primary care Doctor who sent me to a Rheumatologist and I was diagnosed with a serious autoimmune disease. I feel if Dr. Kolrud would have had a more professional bedside manner and taken my complaint more seriously, that my disagnosis may have been discovered a little sooner. After getting the proper diagnoses of my disease, I have learned a few things: #1 There is never any need to make a patient feel inferior or to compare him/her with other patients in their practice. #2 I learned that I am not a lazy person - that I was suffering from an undiagnosed Autoimmune disease and that was the reason for my lack of endurance - NOT LAZINESS and #3 There are too many really good Doctors out there who DO CARE and DO not say cruel things to their patients.
